GM700R4 GENERAL TRANSMISSION INFORMATION
The GM700R4 transmission was standard equiptment in GM medium duty cars trucks and vans throughout from early 1984 to early 1993 .It has proven itself to be a reliable performer on the street and dragstrip with the proper modifications.The 1987 and later models recieved some major internal upgrades and it is these select cores that provide the foundation for our high performance remaufactured transmissions.The stock case will mate to all Chevrolet small and big block engines but it can easily be adapted to most Buick,Oldsmobile,Pontiac and Cadillac engines with the use of our aluminum bellhousing adapter.All of our GM700R4 transmissions are bench tested,dyno tested,and then installed and tested in our test vehicle prior to being placed in inventory.This assures you get the best product performance available.Look over our build sheets and prices.No one out there is giving you a better engineered package at any price. We dont sell options,we include them.Hardened input shaft and steel reinforced input drum is standard on all of our transmission build ups.We are the only company to offer 2.84 first gear planetary set and are the originators of the CNC machined steel billet output shaft for this transmission.We are constantly researching and developing products for this transmission ,and have a fully staffed CNC machine shop to develop prototype parts as well as manufacture them. Purchase wisely.
RETRO FITTING A GM700R4 TRANSMISSION
This transmission can easily be retro fitted to most rear wheel and four wheel drive vehicles originally equipt with a GM Powerglide,GMTH350,or GMTH400 transmission.Upgrading your 2 or 3 speed automatic transmission equipt street car with the GM700R4 4 speed automatic transmission will greatly improve your cars performance and fuel economy.A brutal increase in first and second gear accelleration is realized due to the added torque multiplication of the numerically lower planetary gear set .Increased top end mile per hour and fuel economy is added due to the overdrive ratio and the lock up torque converter.The overdrive ratio will make your 3.73:1 rear end ratio a 2.64:1 and your 4.11:1 rear end ratio a 2.91:1 when driving in overdrive/fourth gear.The lock up torque converter also permits the use of higher stall speeds for maximum perfomance without the ill effects of the reduced coupling efficiency common with most non lock up style torque converters at cruise speed.When applied the lock up clutch in the converter locks the crankshaft and input shaft together resulting in zero slip in the converters fluid coupling.No computer is necessary for the transmission to function properly in non stock applications.Custom installation kits are available for retro fitting which includes a tv cable,a tv cable bracket,a tv cable to carbuerator mounting stud,cross member(if required)and a filler tube and dipstick.Just phone in with your intended application and our knowledgable technical staff will advise you as to what is necessary to make it all work.
IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION This transmission was produced with four different output shaft lengths,four different transmission cases,2 different output shaft yokes and 3 different speedometer gear configurations. Each one is for a specific application.Our technical staff will verify the type you have when placing an order.
